When it Rains, it Pours...Right?

I will post about my wonderful Christmas later this week when I get the chance. Right now though, I found out this morning that the restaurant I worked out was closed. We closed for good. I have been looking for a new job for a while, but now, I gotta get serious about looking. I'm sad. Mad. and so on. It sucks! Right after Christmas. I wish we had some kind of warning, but we had nothing. Just keep me in your prayers and that I will find something soon, please. It doesn't help that while getting a haircut today, I dropped my iPhone and cracked the screen. Just my luck...right?!

I know I haven't posted in a while. It's been a crazy week around here. Again, my life revolves around school, work, and home basically.

Where to start....school. Hmm. It's still going well. I dropped my Spanish class because there was no way that I was going to pass it. On Tuesday, I talked to my advisor about classes next semester, and we talked about possibly transferring. Well, the school we were talking about was NGCSU up in Dahlonega...which is about an hour and a half away from here. I talked to everyone about it and then decided that it was in my best interest to stay down here instead. If I was to say what made my final decision, it would make someone upset since this person said that they shouldn't be the reason I decided to stay home instead. But then there are also some good nursing schools that are closer to home than an hour and a half. Umm...my grades are pretty well. I'm a little worried about Math, but she's a weird teacher. Like she teaches weird. Instead of teaching, she actually gives examples and expects us to learn it instead. But back to the advisor, (I know I'm jumping all over the place. Trust me) we talked about my classes next semester, and needless to say, it's going to be a very interesting and long semester.

Work...well, I actually had another interview last week at Reynold's Plantation. I decided not to take the job for a couple reasons, but mainly because I absolutely love my job I have right now. It's one of the best jobs I've ever had. Business has definitely been on a rise lately, and we are hoping that it stays that way. The finally decided to officially close on Sunday's because our Sunday business was horrible.

Dunno if I blogged about this before, but there is a new guy in my life. He is pretty wonderful. But we are definitely taking it slow and I am pretty happy with the way things are going!

And the past two weeks, Georgia has pulled out a W and beat Tennessee and Vanderbilt!! The past two weeks have been a lot of upsets in football and the SEC and all around. I have enjoyed pulling for my teams and watching football the past couple weeks.

But I'm pretty sure that's all the updates I have for now! I know I will probably think of more soon! And I will try to blog more often too.

And oh yes, my oldest nephew turned 7 this past Wednesday (10/13). Happy Birthday, Michael! I love you and can't believe 7 years have already passed by!!

Playing a Little Catch Up

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Things have been crazy chaotic around my neck of the woods! School...work...life in general. I have to say, life is amazing right now. The guy that I have had feelings for since May (when I was told that my ex wanted to get a divorce) and I have finally decided that we think there might be potential between us and have decided to see where it would go. Needless to say, I am beyond excited! Yes, we are taking it extremely slow because I am not ready to get hurt or anything. He's a sweetheart, but he is older than I am. And when I say older, I mean by more than 2 or 3 years. But to me, age is nothing but a number.

School is insane. Not gonna lie. I feel like that's all I do now. I had to actually drop my Spanish class because I was doing horrible in it. So now that that's out of the way, I won't have to worry about failing a class. Pretty sure that I tried to take too many classes my first semester back after two and a half years, basically. My Algebra teacher is insane. She doesn't actually teach the class, but instead, shows us how to do things. Yes, I am a visual learner, but I gotta know how in the hell you get to that answer in the first place.

Work is going well. Well, kind of. I am actually considering looking for another job because our business has slowed down a lot and things just aren't looking good. But lately, I have been working between 4 and 5 days a week which isn't bad at all. But when you're getting only waitress pay (2.35/hour) plus tips (and business is slow), it's not too good. But I have to say, I love my job. I love the people that work there and I haven't gone to work dreading the day...besides the one day I had a hungover from hell. We don't talk about that :)

Football...UGH. Georgia is just having an off season. But I am so tired of seeing every one bashing them. Hello?! We have a freaking young team. AJ Green was suspened due to his stupidity. It hurt us. I didn't get to watch the game last night, but I heard they played a wonderful game until AJ Green went out due to dehydration. But I have always been and always will be a Dawg fan. GO DAWGS!!!

The only other thing that has gone on is my little sister turned 5 a week ago, and today,we celebrated her birthday. She truly was a princess today! She enjoyed it and had a blast. Pretty sure her favorite gift was either the bicycle she got or her doll. And she's walked around ever since opening her presents with her bike helmet and knee pads on. Too cute for words!

But I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I know it has been a great weekend for me!

I will post pictures later when I get the chance! Thanks for bearing with me through this random, off the wall post!

Little Update....Looking back on 9/11

I know it has been a while since I actually posted. And I will explain why.

School: has completely taken over my life. I feel like that's all I do right now. (That or work). I have three tests that I am studying cramming for by Tuesday. Why do college professors feel like they need to cram all of our tests on the same day? Probably so they can make our lives a living hell.

Work: has also taken over my life. I'm telling you, if I'm not at school, I am usually at work. I'm not complaining because I need the money. But then there's part of me that really misses my Monday-Friday job I had during the summer.

Friends: what are those?! Just kidding. I have seen a few friends this week. I studying with one and saw two while having dinner. I wish I had more time to spend with them though. I definitely enjoy spending time with friends when you can talk crap about some things, talk about football, and so on.

This weekend has really been an uneventful weekend. Which I am not complaining about at all. I worked a double on Friday, and made a good amount of money...I wait tables, for those of you who don't know that. After I got off work, I went and had Choo Choo's with an awesome friend. We probably sat there for a couple of hours just laughing about random stuff. Saturday, I slept in and then watched Georgia get slaughtered by South Carolina. I'm pretty sure I can't tell you how much I dislike hate Steve Spurrier and those freaking Gamecocks. UGH! I had to work that night, and then again, still made some money, but not near as good as Friday. After getting home, I had to make sure I caught up on all my football games from that day. Today (Sunday), I worked yet again. Made a good amount for a Sunday. But that has been my weekend.

On a sadder note, Saturday marked the 9 year anniversary of 9/11/2001. It's crazy to believe that it has already been 9 years. These years have flown by. I remember sitting in my 7th grade Social Studies classroom with Mrs. Shanks. I was 12 years old. We had just got done switching classes, and before I went in someone told me that they think that a plane crashed in to a building in NYC. Mrs. Shanks didn't say anything about it, so I just shrugged it off. Literally 5 minutes later, our principal at the time came on the intercom in a very serious tone, and told us that America was indeed under attack. So we turned on the television, and in all our classes that day, all we did was watch tv. Talk about freaking out. What was a 12 year old suppose to do when they hear something like this? I was a car rider at the time, and when my Dad picked me up, I remember asking what all was going on and if we were going to be okay. I later learned that I have a distant cousin that was in the basement of the Pentagon when it was attacked. He got out safely. But I feel all the innocent lives that were killed that day. I still get chills thinking about that horrific day. I am so glad that our country pulled together as one nation UNDER GOD after that day, but it's also sad that it took a tragedy like this one to come together. I am so thankful for the brave firefighters and police officers that put their lives on the line that day. And I am thankful now for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day while fighting for our freedom overseas. As a military sister, I send my prayers over there every night and they are always in my mind.

Very Exciting Weekend...

I know, I haven't posted in a few days. It has been a very busy couple of days!

Friday: I worked a double at work. Yes, second day working and they gave me a double. I didn't mind though:) more money=good news! Lunch was kinda busy...and I made a whopping $6 in tips. Again, not complaining...better than nothing at all. Then I worked dinner that night and we were busy slammed. The entire dining room was full. We ran out of silverware and plates. It was insane. I thought I was going insane since it was my first night on the floor. But I made $29 in tips, which made me happy:) can't wait to get more hours.

Saturday...I got a new car! Woot! I traded in my beloved GMC Envoy for a cute 2005 Scion xA. I needed something that was way more fuel efficient that what I was driving. I cried when they drove my car away, because I really loved it!! But I know I am going to love saving money on gas and all. But I'm going to go ahead abd post a picture :) it looks kind of purple (maroon), but the color on the sticker is Black Cheery Pearle.
